Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 212: Chapter 158: Series Gathering

After all, behind the Night Song Nightclub, stands a master of mysticism. With his current Attribute Panel, it’s already quite fortunate that he’s not affected by mystical ceremonies; if everything could be seen so clearly, it would be a bit too much.

But even in the presence of the places he’s skirted around, Zhao Yan was still quite scared, repeatedly asking him three or four times if he’d grown any strange flesh or was entangled with strangers around him.

When Zhao Yan learned that it was Wu Chang who knocked him under the bar to help him avoid a disaster, he immediately shifted from worrying if his face hurt to worrying if Wu Chang’s hand hurt.

Face hurts? That’s how it should be!

If his face didn’t hurt, then he should have woken up with a sore backside!

Having worried about himself, Zhao Yan began to worry about Wanghai City.

No matter how many times the Night Song Bar has done something in the past, just today’s event alone represents that at least four or five hundred people were controlled by unknown powers.

No matter what Tang Renquan’s intentions are, they can’t be allowed to continue.

Zhao Yan said he wanted to tell Meng Yawen about tonight’s findings, to organize people to shut down Night Song Bar, and let Tang Renquan have a taste of the Iron Fist of justice.

Seeing this, Wu Chang hurriedly stopped Zhao Yan, saying, ”It’s not the time yet.”

Zhao Yan asked in confusion, ”What do you mean?”

”Remember the Monkey you mentioned? Being able to do all this, it’s obvious that Tang Renquan is not just an ordinary Player or part of some small organization; there’s definitely a powerful force backing him.”

”They dare to silence even a potentially informed member of the Management Bureau, so how would they not mess with Tang Renquan? Recklessly arresting Tang Renquan would only alert them, and by the time they silenced Tang Renquan, we’d only have eliminated a small fry, not touched the mastermind at all.”

Zhao Yan calmed down, thought for a moment, and felt that Wu Chang made sense.

After a moment of silence, he said, ”Ever since I met you, I’ve started to see Gou Players in a new light.”

Wu Chang asked, ”What do you mean?”

”Don’t think that you Gou Players can’t handle direct confrontations; you’re really thoughtful and truly able to keep your cool. If it were me, seeing people in the bar being influenced by music, growing twisted tentacles, I don’t think I could stay calm and would definitely not dare to bet that I could remain unharmed; I would choose to either go on the offensive or sneak away.”

Zhao Yan sighed, realizing that the formerly underestimated D-rank connection not only surpassed him in rank but also handled solving extraordinary issues as a member of the Management Bureau more maturely than he did.

Time doesn’t spare anyone, but hang on, from the time Wu Chang joined the Management Bureau to now, it’s only been a little over half a month.

It’s not that time flies, but that the interval is really short.

When he realized it had only been half a month, Wu Chang went from knowing nothing as a newbie to who he is now. His view of Wu Chang changed.

If not for the fact that during their first meeting, Wu Chang could only activate Reward Dungeons that didn’t exceed level ten, he would have thought this guy was pretending, always acting like a pig to eat the tiger.

But now, he could only admit there are disparities among Players; some people, when given an opportunity, can rise rapidly in a very short period.

”So what are you planning to do?”

Zhao Yan said this already conceding Wu Chang’s leading position, taking the role of a supporter.

Wu Chang said, ”I plan to use my advantage of not being affected to continue participating in the series of activities by the Night Song Organization. When I trace their real intentions and catch the mastermind, then we can make a move.”

”Before that, we can only inform a limited number of people to prevent leaks within the Management Bureau, preventing the other side from hearing any rumors. It’s best to tell only two or three people, so if word does get out, we can take the opportunity to catch the mole.”

Zhao Yan lit a cigarette. He was truly impressed now; Wu Chang wasn’t just plotting against Tang Renquan, even when reporting the intelligence, he was scheming inside the Management Bureau as well.

These Gou Players, their hearts are so shady. He’ll have to be more mindful in the future and stop dismissing Gou Players as useless.

”Alright, let’s do as you suggest. But isn’t it a bit risky for you to act alone? After all, you’re not a frontline combat Player; I’m worried you might encounter danger.”

Wu Chang waved his hand nonchalantly, ”Precisely because I don’t fight on the front lines, that’s why I’m safe. If I can’t win, I can still run, right?”

Zhao Yan was silent for a while, finally saying, ”Your idea is good, but remember not to push yourself too hard. If there is danger, call for help immediately. This is our turf; no matter how many people they bring, we’ll make sure they don’t leave.”

”Don’t worry about the investigation failing to catch the mastermind. The fact that they’ve laid down such a huge array in Wanghai City means they won’t give up lightly. As long as we’re prepared, they can’t hide for long.”

Wu Chang laughed, ”I’ll heed the instructor’s guidance.”

Parting ways with Zhao Yan, Wu Chang returned to Golden Scenery Garden.

His reason for temporarily holding back on the Night Song Bar issue was indeed to avoid alerting the enemy, but it wasn’t just to catch the mastermind; he also wanted to attend a few more events and set up several anchor points.

The cooldown time for the Mystical Detector—who knows when that will be over? Since the folks at Night Song Bar came to him, he should make good use of it.

By the time he got home, it was already three in the morning. Though the house was in complete darkness, once inside the Inner World, Erin was still waiting for him to return.

Erin paused the online course playing on her tablet, turned, and asked, ”Was the Reincarnation task successful, do you need my help?”

”There was a small hiccup, but precisely because of them, the Reincarnation task went smoother than expected.”

Wu Chang tossed his jacket aside and sat next to Erin, looking at the content she was studying.

The content she was watching was teaching foreign tourists daily life English for traveling in Xia Country, visiting attractions, and daily activities, etc.

The teaching was very detailed, even explaining how to apply for a giant app, and how to scan QR codes thoroughly.

Wu Chang looked at Erin and asked, ”Do you want to go out and have a look?”

Erin nodded, ”I’m really curious about your world, I want to see it and experience it for myself.”

Wu Chang teased, ”They say to understand a person, you have to understand their living environment first. Are you in such a hurry to understand my world because you want to understand me?”

Erin’s cheeks flushed faintly, ”Yes, I also want to know more about you, just like how you understand me.”

Indeed, sincerity is the strongest ultimate move. Erin’s straightforwardness left Wu Chang at a loss.

From birth till now, let alone the opposite sex, it was Wu Chang’s first time encountering a fellow human actively expressing a desire to learn more about him.

He felt he should respond somehow, but this kind of conversation was beyond his knowledge scope; he didn’t know how to reply.

He turned his head, pulled out his phone, and @everyone in the 426 dorm group, then sent a message.

”Urgent help from the brothers in the martial arts world, a female said she wants to know more about me, what should I do? Waiting online!”

He Wei immediately responded first, ”Out of ten, what’s her attractiveness score?”

Wu Chang instantly replied, ”100!”

He Wei: ”Why even ask? My advice is to strip naked, put instruction manuals over censored parts, in both English and Chinese, and let her understand you however she wants.”

Wu Chang shook his head; perverse advice is never reliable. He privately @Fang Hui to seek support from the love sage.

Two minutes later, Fang Hui responded.

”Instruction manual is overkill, mainly wastes time. Other details as He Wei mentioned are correct.”

Gao Xuezong timely appeared, replied, ”Although I don’t know either, I think Hui and He Wei make sense.”

Wu Chang closed his phone screen and glanced at the steadfast light beside Erin, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

These bastards, none are reliable; he had to rely on himself.

As a dare-to-do man, Wu Chang returned to Erin’s side, continuing the previous conversation.

”Since you want to, let’s go out for a stroll tomorrow!”

Erin smiled, ”Sure, but won’t I trouble you? The lesson said moving around in Xia Country requires an officially recognized identity.”

Wu Chang fished out two Transformation Pills from his pocket space, saying, ”Slightly changing our appearance will solve that. Plus, as long as we don’t go to hotels, registration is generally unnecessary.”

Erin’s common sense hadn’t caught up yet, she asked, ”Since we have a home, why would we go to a hotel?”

Wu Chang was a bit stumped by the question and hesitantly replied, ”Sometimes, hotels are more convenient than home.”

While speaking, his phone vibrated. He thought it was the 426 dogs making trouble again, didn’t expect it to be a new announcement in the Night Song Chat Group he just joined.

”In five days, the second series gathering of the Gate of Heaven will start at 11 PM sharp. Please be on time.”
